I'm answering my own post, but since I found the problem, I thought it might help others who might come accross the same situation.

It seems that one of them was something called "loadcontroller" and aside from the fact that this is BETA software, it seems to work with very wierd logic. It periodically checks CPU usage and if you're over a certain level (the default is 5%), it kills the "heaviest" CPU user - even if that application is not really using very much CPU. So, if, for example, you have 9 processes using 0.5% each, and X is using 0.6%, total use is over the limit (5.1%) and X gets killed (even though it uses only 0.6% CPU). Seems crazy to me. Needless to say, killing X also causes many other processes to die unexpectedly and I've been going crazy for the past few days. I hope that by disabling the "service" I've solved the problem. > 2 - I don't know why these e-mails are being sent to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get This address is "hard-coded" in the loadcontroller configuration file. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail (KDE 3.4.2) on LINUX Mandriva 2006 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
